LeBron James may not live in Ohio anymore, but he's continuing to make a difference in the state where he was born.

His LeBron James Family Foundation is set to open the I Promise School for at-risk children in his hometown of Akron on Monday. Approximately 240 third- and fourth-graders will attend the elementary school, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

This school is that. The people are that. Akron is that," James wrote, in part.

James and his foundation leaders hope that more than 1,200 children will pass through the institution and into college by 2029, according to ESPN. For those students that complete the I Promise School, James has created a program for free tuition to the University of Akron starting in 2021.

James will be in attendance for the opening and he will have his first news conference as a Laker on Monday.
